25.8 - Mai's Task: Reading the Posthuman

I’ve been reading a lot of books on the philosophy of technology for my research. During these next few months, I will spend time rereading some, reviewing notes for others.

For this task, choose 2 options among the 4 below and read one book that satisfies each requirement.
Required: State the options.

Option 1: Reread a book that you have read in the past. Any book that you had read prior to Sept. 1, 2022 counts.
Required: State that the book is a reread.

Option 2: Read a book with a main page genre Technology.

Option 3: Read a book by a single author whose initials (all) can be found in the phrase ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.

Option 4: Read a book with a word of at least four letters in the title or subtitle that can be made by the letters in the phrase ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. Letters can be used only as often as they are found.
Required: State the word.
